China’s 40-day Chunyun kicked off on Feb 2 and will run through March 13.

Foreign media including Reuters and Travel & Tour World highlight the rush as a tourism driver. The “reverse reunion” trend emerges and silver hair tourism booms, with air ticket bookings for over-60s surging 35% year-on-year and their first-time flight bookings up 22%, activating tourism economy and reflecting diverse consumption demands.
